I know it will happen somewhat just by compressing but for my test title going from the source 54gb to 43gb the peak bitrate might still be too high for BD-50 media.

Ok, I think I answered somewhat my own question here but just for clarification;

I found this setting in the 'HiddenOpts' files: "UHD_MAXRATE=n n = Maximum bitrate, Sets X265 maximum bitrate parameter (min 15000, max 60000, default 45000)"

So if I add to the BDrebuilder.Ini file "UHD_MAXRATE=40000" it should limit the maximum bitrate to 40Mbps of just the video track? The default of 45000 seemed too high for my player at one spot as it stuttered and froze a bit.

And if that is true does BDRebuilder then take that into consideration when compressing the original? So will it be;

Original size 54gb and max bitrate of 60Mbps
BDRebuilder size 47gb and max bitrate of 40Mbps

Or will it ensure the bitrate comes before the size, so you may end up with a much smaller output;

Original size 54gb and max bitrate of 60Mbps
BDRebuilder size of 41gb and max bitrate of 40Mbps

I know there are other variables to the sizing but I mean in general will it still try to reach that 47gb size?

[jdobbs]

The maximum bitrate applies to only the video track. You'd have to account for all audio tracks as well.

Ok, great -thanks for that info just wanted to make sure.

Hello. Can you recommended a capable stand alone player for 25GB Discs 4K?

[RetsimLegin]

All I can say for sure is that it appears to be something specific to your system, as others aren't experiencing it. But right now I have no idea what it is.
In case it's of any relevance after reverting the NVENC update proposed by cartman0208 and any .ini changes (so it's back to as you supply it all) I attempted another similar project but this time, the content is all PAL telecined - so no pulldown. And that has encoded fine, and quickly.

As an aside and to recap - I also found that with my earlier NTSC content, using tsMuXeR to remove pulldown on the source (so, 24p SD content) that also worked. So I'm beginning to suspect handling of pulldown may be what's triggering this.

[MrVideo]

I also found that with my earlier NTSC content, using tsMuXeR to remove pulldown on the source (so, 24p SD content) that also worked.
That will only work if the 480i video (no such thing as NTSC digital video, as it is an analog format) is 23.976 video containing pulldown flags so that it plays back at 29.97. If it is true 29.97 interlaced video, then the video must be re-encoded using programs like AVISynth to do the IVTC, which is then passed to an x264, or x265, encoder. So, don't count on tsmuxer to always be able to do the job.

[RetsimLegin]

@MrVideo Yes, the project I initially failed on consisted of NTSC SD film based content, so it did have pulldown flags which I did not originally attempt to remove - so it tried and failed to encode at 29.97, as I have done previously successfully using the CPU X264 encoder. I do acknowledge that true video NTSC content will differ; I haven't yet attempted any of that using NVENC. I also acknowledge what you say about NTSC representing (properly) a broadcast system for analog - but it is used in common parlance - both on DVD artwork and in certain editing apps (eg Premiere Elements) to represent pretty much anything that isn't 25 or 50hz (= PAL).

Keep in mind that hard telecined 480i29.97 video is filmed based. BDRB has all of the tools necessary to IVTC any form of telecined video, i.e., with or without pulldown flags. So, I'm not sure why you would be having issues with it.

In my case, I have a system set up to do re-encoding of video, including files from DVDs, that are telecined in order to return them to 23.976fps.

DVDs have a long history in that the output was strictly analog, hence the use of NTSC, or PAL. Playing DVDs, or Blu-rays, are done on equipment that only outputs a digital signal, so analog terms no longer fit. To properly describe a video these days is the use the resolution and frame rate, i.e., 480i29.97 or 576i25. Also, once you IVTC 29.97 back to the original 23.976, it can no longer be described as NTSC under any circumstances, since that frame rate does not exist in the NTSC analog world.

Shame on Adobe for using the NTSC/PAL terms when working with digital video, since it is only digital video that it works with.

...BDRB has all of the tools necessary to IVTC any form of telecined video, i.e., with or without pulldown flags. So, I'm not sure why you would be having issues with it......
Me neither
......Other tests also using a single imported file:
- checking deinterlace caused the encode to fail immediately
- checking IVTC caused the encode to fail immediately.....

I've updated the first post of this thread with a link to the latest version (v0.61.22) of BD-RB. Changes for this release:- Fixed an error in which 1080p HEVC sources
on UHD discs could create an error when
attempting to rebuild.
- Corrected a syntax error in the way BD-RB
checks for H.265 capability in video card.
- Added support for import of AV files that
have OPUS format audio. LAVFilters must
be version 0.68 or above.
- Fixed an error that could cause BD-RB to
fail with err "ReencodeAudio() 00009 1801"
- Enabled the use of NVENCC for converting
non-compliant sources during import. It
is also used to convert VFR sources to
CFR. If issues are encountered it can be
disabled by adding NVENC_CONVERT=0 to the
BDREBUILDER.INI file. Please report any
issues found in the BD Rebuilder bug thread
on Doom9.org.
- Improved the method used in output file
naming when importing/reencoding a single
file to ALTERNATE format.
- Added code to adjust for leading clips in
a multipart source that do not contain
audio.
- Updated NVENCC.EXE to newer version 5.20.
- Updated TSMUXER4K.exe to the 4/30 release.
- Other minor corrections and cosmetic fixes.

[musiclover]

- Added support for import of AV files that

be version 0.68 or above.[/code]

So, its not imperative to use LAVFilters version 0.65 anymore? How about the out-of-sync audio?

[jdobbs]

So, its not imperative to use LAVFilters version 0.65 anymore? How about the out-of-sync audio?I haven't changed the recommended version. But v0.65 doesn't work with OPUS audio. Then again, it isn't very common. But I've been testing v0.68.1 and haven't run into any problems. I can't remember... what version was it that had the out-of-sync issue?

[meadrocks]

Is there any possibility of including an AV1 encoder for Movie Only encodes?

[DoctorM]

The fix for leading clips with no audio does fix the sync problem.
It LOOKS like that overrides "Keep HD Audio for BD25/Alternate Intact" though, outputting DTS even if the source is MA. I'm assuming it's because blank audio has to be inserted.
It might be nice to have the option to actually trim the clip from the multipart source so that isn't necessary.
Still, thank you, that was really making me nuts trying to figure out what was going on.

A blank clip isn't added, the start time of the audio is just offset by the length of the leading (no audio) clip(s).

Full UHD to BD25 (some subtitles ignored).

[jdobbs]

Full UHD to BD25 (some subtitles ignored).Just as a test, try going back to the previous version of TSMUXER4K and see if it acts differently.

[MrVideo]

Since I keep previous versions installed, I just changed the shortcut link to V*21. Unfortunately I get the same error. The only difference is that it encoded 8 frames instead of 3.

I did another UHD disc with V*.22 and all was well. Single stream video.

Hi MrVideo,

is this secondary vid stream the DV layer perhaps?

See here (https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1942367#post1942367).
While I do not have dgdemuxgui installed, when try to play it back, it certainly plays like a data file.

I don't need the DV stream, as video projectors can't do DV. So, how do I get BDRB to ignore it?

In any event, I thought that BDRB was supposed to be able to handle DV UHD movies.

[MrVideo]

As a test I tried building a M2TS file, via 4/30/21 tsmuxer, without the DV stream. But tsmuxer didn't like the dolby TrueHD audio stream (I submitted a bug on the forum page). BDRB didn't like the missing audio stream, though it didn't mind the missing video stream. It hung while trying to extract the audio. It still got the -2 error code.

UPDATE: After doing a little more digging I discovered to use tsmuxer to create a bluray layout. I then swapped out the CLPI and M2TS files. With the DV video stream removed, BDRB had no issues.

So, BDRB doesn't like the DV stream.

Thanks.

[sieve]

Thanks for assisting with the diagnosis. I guess this one won't be solved.
Hopefully it is just an anomaly related to this specific blu-ray. I'll report back if this happens with the next one I do.

Reporting back. I just did a new and different bd copy yesterday and it worked fine, like it used to.

So, for whatever reason, the issues I was having must have been with an anomaly in the source bd and files. Thanks again for the assistance!

[Lathe]

Okay, I know this is going to sound really dumb, and I apologize because I know it is an extremely rare occurrence when I say something really dumb here https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/pw/ACtC-3cB-T8P4w8IakGNaExcsBWgoK9INZ6JDXzDZHMilKc4QThVJK-B_ECauJH8rL5AMcP4VU6noqTkD3aQoDZR2ZcYBlflVCovWf9Cfci8CmUFl_dBmObxB97DoiZZIWzrJmHAC8nEPaqpDRuKjWe0selghQ=s20-no?authuser=0

But, and I'm strongly ASSuming that this is not possible, but I don't suppose that there is any way for me to use my Radeon RX 590 Fatboy video card for encoding, is there...? It is such a bigass card with all these heat tubes and two fans, it just SEEMS like it would be good to use for encoding.

***EDIT

The main reason why, other than it would be good to know if I can do that, is that I still have ongoing heating issues with my CPU, although they are not quite as bad. I just recently got a CPU cooler which LOOKS pretty good and I THINK it will fit. Watching a video on 'how to', it looks so easy that I think I can switch it out with my stock cooler without screwing it up (hopefully...)

It is the Noctua NH-U12A. It's pretty tall, but I THINK it will fit. I guess I will find out...

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PN4RDW3 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PN4RDW3/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

It's slightly smaller than the NH-U15 which uses 140 fans instead of 120's, but everyone apparently feels that it cools really well. Hopefully, if I can figure out how to put it in, it might solve my heating issue.

***EDIT 2

Hmmm... very recently Windows did some kind of colossal update where it basically replaced the entire OS (I know it did because it created a Windows.old folder and it took a long time) Interestingly, while posting here, I tried an x264 encode like I usually do to shrink episodes (see post below) and amazingly I THINK that watching the CPU temperature it didn't seem to get as hot! All the while that I've been complaining about this (about a year) it NEVER has stayed that 'cool'! I watched the temperature while encoding and it would climb to about 75 or so, BUT then it would drop down to 68! It has NEVER done that before! Do you suppose that maybe somehow this weird new Windows 'update' is the reason why, because other than blowing out a bunch of dust inside my computer I haven't changed anything else yet. Very strange...

*** EDIT 3

Nah... It still just about redlined at 89 degrees, but it took a little longer.

[Lathe]

BTW, JD, I notice that you are still including the x264L-64.exe in the tools folder along with the x264-64.exe

What is the difference again, and are either one of those updated from one version of BDRB to the next.

Thank you Sir!

(I edited a lot of crap out of my original post because I'm a NumbNut and I figured it out)

[gonca]

Hey NumbNut
What CPU do you have
What case do you have

[videoh]

Hey NumbNut
Are you talking to me?

[Lathe]

Hey NumbNut
What CPU do you have
What case do you have

:)

I have the Ryzen 5 3600 and an Apevia X-Hermes Mid Tower:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FH6KE76/

I've tried to measure how much space I have between the CPU and the side panel with the big fan, and I THINK that I just have enough room. I figure worst case (well, WORST case is that I screw up the whole thing) but, if I need a tad more room I figure that I can maybe put some kind of rubber tubing around the side of the case buying me another 1/2" or so and then using double sided tape to attach the side panel and fan. But, of course I'm hoping that I don't hafta do that. It SEEMS like a pretty big case, so if I can get up the nerve to try to do it myself (the video makes it LOOK pretty easy) then I'll see. I think I put a link to the cooling fan above.

***EDIT

Damn! I've been looking through the case details and it appears that supposedly a cooler 6" tall can fit with the side fan and side panel. But, the cooler height is shown as 158 mm or about 6.2"... How the hell do they expect these coolers to fit? I chose the smaller one (120) to ensure that it would fit. The case sure looks big, but looks like if I'm gonna stay with this cooler I probably will hafta modify the side panel. Geez...

***EDIT 2

Yeah, going through the questions for the case (over 800) the seller says that WITHOUT the side fan a cooler a tad over 6" will fit, but with the side fan, it will only allow 5" Dang, I chose the smaller one and I already paid for a 4 year extended warranty which I don't know if I can get back or apply to another cooler, Geez...

Well, it LOOKS like at least the clear plastic panel holding the 200 mm fan could be removed I guess. Maybe I can figure out a way just to remove that and place some kind of spacing to back it out however much I need, IDK... Sux...

Yeah, I figured that I would probably hafta get another one, and I had hoped that you might recommend one, thanks! The large side fan I'm pretty sure is blowing in. Front to back and top out is correct (the damn case has 5 frigg'n fans! That's why I bought it...)

I also figured that there probably was something wrong with the way the thermal paste was applied. I did have a guy who is very experienced at a shop build it, but that is strongly implied I think.

Also too, many who have stock Ryzen 5's with the stock Wraith cooler complain of high temperatures. So, I probably really should upgrade the cooler anyway. That large side fan can be removed (screws) which would give another inch or so in the case (which the seller states) That MIGHT just barely be enough for this really good one I have. But, then again, I will definitely check out the one you suggest, thanks Bro!

Thanks Bro! That does look nice, but the guy who built my system was able to fix the CPU (thankfully) It had pulled off the board when I pulled the cooler off, and I guess when I tried to put it back in, I musta screwed up some of the pins or something (I am terrified of trying to put CPUs in a MOBO, but in this case since it got ripped off with the cooler, I didn't have a choice) So, he was able to straighten out the CPU (Ryzen 5) and put it back in and reinstall the Noctua and get everything running just fine!

It now idles at roughly 35 C or so (NEVER seen it anywhere near that low!) and we ran the CPU stress test on extreme for a few minutes and it hovered around 76 or so. So, everything SEEMS very good now. I did have to remove the 240mm fan from inside the side panel so that the Noctua would fit, but I'm just gonna put it on the outside. I do hafta have it blowing 'in' because I only have one small fan on the front of the case bringing air in and I have 2 fans on top and one in back (directly across from the Noctua exhaust fan) all 3 drawing air 'out' The big fan should also provide cooler air blowing in over the large video card, etc.

But, it's great now not to have it overheating! The guy said that for air coolers, Noctua is one of the best.

[Lathe]

So, back to my earlier, dumber questions...

Is there any way for me to use my Radeon RX 590 Fatboy video card for encoding (probably not...)

And, again, what is the deal with the two x264.exe's in the BDRB Tools folder? The x264L-64.exe and the x264-64.exe? What is the purpose again for having both of these, and are these the most current versions of the encoder?

If anyone knows and can explain this, that would be great, thanks!

[mr_lou]

EDIT: Realizing there's a whole sub-forum for BD-Rebuilder, this post should probably have been in another thread - so deleting and posting a new thread.

[jdobbs]

Is there any way for me to use my Radeon RX 590 Fatboy video card for encoding (probably not...)I don't even know if that video card even has encoding capabilities (I doubt it). I looked at a review of it, and it didn't mention it as a capability. But, it's not likely it would be supported, even it it did.
And, again, what is the deal with the two x264.exe's in the BDRB Tools folder? The x264L-64.exe and the x264-64.exe? What is the purpose again for having both of these, and are these the most current versions of the encoder?From the CHANGES.TXT file:November 13th, 2016 - v0.50.19
...
- Included an older version of X264 for users
that use X264/LAVF frame serving. Newer
X264 versions run significantly slower in
this mode (probably due to libavformat
updates that are slower).

Hello jdobbs...

Thank you for the latest v0.61.22 of BDRB. I'm in the process of converting my 1080p titles to HEVC. Everything has been going perfect, love the quality, not to mention the speed provided by NVENCC!

I may be nitpicking here, but when converting in Full Backup or Movie and Menus mode, the log shows the title being converted to UHD-BD (HEVC) output format (examples below).

But when in Movie-Only mode the same notation is not shown. I wasn't sure if the title was being converted, but when checking the output w/MediaInfo in MPC-HC it indeed shows the title in HEVC format. The title is still converted to UHD-BD (HEVC) output format in Movie Only mode, it's just not noted in the log.

Just thought I'd point that out to avoid confusion with other users. Thanks again for the latest update and keep up the great work!

Hello jdobbs...

Thank you for the latest v0.61.22 of BDRB. I'm in the process of converting my 1080p titles to HEVC. Everything has been going perfect, love the quality, not to mention the speed provided by NVENCC!

I may be nitpicking here, but when converting in Full Backup or Movie and Menus mode, the log shows the title being converted to UHD-BD (HEVC) output format (examples below).

But when in Movie-Only mode the same notation is not shown. I wasn't sure if the title was being converted, but when checking the output w/MediaInfo in MPC-HC it indeed shows the title in HEVC format. The title is still converted to UHD-BD (HEVC) output format in Movie Only mode, it's just not noted in the log.

Just thought I'd point that out to avoid confusion with other users. Thanks again for the latest update and keep up the great work!
I looked at the code and it specifically excludes printing that line when in MOVIE-ONLY mode. Now I have to figure out whether I did that for a reason -- or was just goofy that day.

EDIT: I realize now that I used the wrong variable for that check. It should have suppressed the message for ALTERNATE output, not all MOVIE-ONLY encodes. I fixed it for the next releas.

Now I have to figure out whether I did that for a reason -- or was just goofy that day.No worries, I'm pretty goofy all the time... :D FYI, I added the line "FULL BACKUP mode enabled" in the first example as it's not noted either, to differentiate the three modes in my examples. Not sure if you want to add that as well. Thanks again for your awesome work!

From the CHANGES.TXT file:November 13th, 2016 - v0.50.19
...
- Included an older version of X264 for users
that use X264/LAVF frame serving. Newer
X264 versions run significantly slower in
this mode (probably due to libavformat
updates that are slower).

Thanks Boss! So, is the resulting understanding of that then that one should probably NOT use the LAVF frame serving when encoding? I always did simply because it sounded like it had some kind of native or internal decoder/frame server. Should I simply use another like DirectShow? What would be the parameters in deciding which frame server to use?

Now, that I have some bad@ss cooling and can actually use my handy dandy Ryzen 5 full out, I'm ready to Rock! :)

***EDIT

BTW, when I do some simple CMD Line x264 encoding I reference the .exe in the BDRB Tools folder. I noticed that when I use the x264L-64.exe it shows 'time left' If I use the x264-64.exe (which I assume by what you said above is the current latest one) I notice that there is no 'time left' shown while encoding. I just wondered why...

You should talk Mr. Compulsive GrammarHead! :devil:

Just that day? :DSome days I think I might fall more into the "hopelessly lost" category rather than "goofy". So I limited it for accuracy. :cool:
